The Hella 500 driving lamps in the fog holes made a night and day (pun intended) difference in visibility on my car. You don't aim them low, you aim them properly for use as driving lights. Certainly, you can't use them when there's oncoming traffic (mine were wired to come on only w/ the hi-beams anyway), but they're terrific when you kick them on. Plus, the 500's are relatively cheap.
Also, I don't agree regarding added lights screwing up the air to the scoop. A round lamp on a light-bar out in front of the bumper should not have a significant affect on the air flowing over the hood... at least not significant enough to cause intercooler issues. Even with the spill/turbulence off the lamps, there's still going to be air directly entering the scoop. The scoop does not rely on laminar flow up the hood to function... it's not a NACA duct or something... it's a scoop.
